The countdown is on! In just 5 days, the Cancer Research UK Etape Caledonia takes over the streets of Pitlochry.

On Sunday, 10th May, the Highlands will be alive with the spirit of the UK’s original closed-road sportive. Whether you’ve been training all winter for the 85-mile trek or you're joining the 40-mile spring cruise, McKays Hotel is the heart of the action.

The Hub for Riders & Fans:
Fuel for the Road: Our spring menu is packed with fresh, local Perthshire energy to get you across that finish line.

Soak Up the Atmosphere: Skip the indoors and soak up the spring sunshine in our outdoor seating! It’s the best spot in town to grab a victory drink, hear the bagpipes, and cheer on the riders as they fly past.

A Highland Spring Celebration: After the ride, trade the saddle for a comfortable chair and enjoy the buzz of a village in full bloom.

Staying for the weekend? We are right at the start and finish line, but rooms for Etape weekend are almost gone! If you haven't secured your basecamp yet, now is the time.
